One the ways we love to take control of our learning is by attending un-conferences. Our favorite format is the classic EdCamp model. Here are 10 tips for making sure your event is successful.

1. Build a Strong Team
2. Broaden you planning committee so it helps in getting the word out about the event to more than just a couple of buildings/districts.
3. District planning team
4. Location, Location, Location
5. Open WiFi to devices not in the domain, that it will allow for social media connection and YouTube.
6. Arrange the rooms how you want them (in circles, etc)
7. School district planning team
8. Parking
9. Easy to get to
10. Promotion
11. Twitter
12. Instagram

23. What About the Children?
24. Get kids involved!! Whether it be for a student panel, to showcase their work, culinary students, bring your own kids!
25. Transition Time
26. Don’t be afraid to make your transition time a little longer than you think you need. Those free moments sometimes tend to be the most valuable for teachers. And those discussions may help decide later session ideas. We typically do 10-15 transitions so we have PLENTY of time.
27. Build in a half-time or lunch
28. Attendance
29. Expect about 60% of registered people to actually attend
30. Sponsors/Giveaways
31. Start the way you plan to continue…don’t start out too big

Check out the Planning Period Podcast, hosted by ITC Brad Shreffler (FL). On the Planning Period Podcast Shreffler interviews teachers and other school stakeholders. As a podcaster, he is focused on making a guest-centered education podcast, not necessarily talking to experts in any field, or focusing the discussions on one topic, but instead having a natural, comfortable conversation with a teacher and seeing where that discussion takes them.

As a result of the very idea of PodcastPD and the good ‘ole days of our conversations on Twitter and Blab.im Chris has been teaching at Rutgers University in the DCIM Program since January 2016. Our conversation with Chris focuses on his teaching experiences at the college level and we believe there are some basic teaching concepts that should be seen in classrooms regardless of what grade or age group you teach.

• AJ: Positive U Podcast with Jon Gordon and Guests – Clemson Coach Dabo Swinney and Jon Gordon Talk About Greatness, Team Building, and Overcoming Challenges.
• Stacey: Embedded – Season 3
• Chris: Power Struggle Podcast hosted by Lindsy and Kyle Stumpenhorst and Episode 638 of This American Life, “Rom-Com.” This episode of TAL inspired me to also watch ‘When Harry Met Sally’ for the first time!

The flipped classroom is an instructional strategy and a type of blended learning that reverses the traditional learning environment by delivering instructional content, often online, outside of the classroom. It moves activities, including those that may have traditionally been considered homework, into the classroom.

Co-host AJ has been using flipped strategies for a few years and he and Stacey had a great discussion where Stacey finally had the opportunity to learn more about this instructional model.

Resources: Here is what AJ uses to Flip his Classroom. These are simply suggestions! Take time to find what works best for you and your students!

Flipped Tools: 

• EdPuzzle
• NewsELA
• CommonLit
• A Web Whiteboard
• Pixiclip
• Screencastify
• InsertLearning
• Padlet
• FlipGrid

• AJ: 1-3-20 Podcast → Recorded by Daniel Pink! In each episode, Dan will choose one book that has made an impression on him, ask its author three key questions and give you the most value possible in less than twenty minutes… Some Episodes include: Psyched Up – The Science of Mental Preparation, Everybody Lies and What Makes a Great Leader?
• Chris: New Media Show – The New Media Show is recorded live every Saturday at Noon EST. The weekly 90-minute show is hosted by Todd Cochrane (Blubrry) and Rob Greenlee (Spreaker). The series features the leading minds in the new media and podcasting space.

• Stacey: Art of Manliness #162 Digital Manners & Etiquette for the Modern Man with Daniel Post Senning
• Joe: Revisionist History is Malcolm Gladwell’s journey through the overlooked and the misunderstood. Every episode re-examines something from the past—an event, a person, an idea, even a song—and asks whether we got it right the first time. From Panoply Media. Because sometimes the past deserves a second chance.

The new year is a natural time to go ahead and reset a number of aspects of our lives. One of the ways people have been doing this of late has been through the idea of #OneWord. In this episode, we try to guess each other’s one word for 2018 and give our thoughts on each others words as well.

• Stacey word is GOALS
• Chris is guided to his word of FLOW
• AJ is going to FOCUS
